Quote of the Day 4-25-18 (Nick Mulvaney)

“We had a hierarchy in my office in Congress. If you’re a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you’re a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.”

—Nick Mulvaney, Donald Trump’s budget director, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (!), and former bought-and-paid-for Republican congressman from South Carolina, speaking before the American Bankers Association on April 24, 2018

(And if you’ve ever wondered who Trump and company really serve, this should answer the question.)
